THRILLOPHILIA

WHAT DOES THE COMPANY DO?

Thrillophilia is India's biggest marketplace for activities, adventure
and things to do. Recently Thrillophilia has launched an exciting new platform
offering activities, experiences and things to do at 200+ destinations (cities
and attractions) in India. Putting technology at the front, Thrillophilia
intends to bridge the gap between travellers and local service providers in
this rapidly growing but highly unorganized sector.

WHAT BIG PROBLEM DOES IT SOLVE?

With the launch of this platform, we are empowering travellers with the
freedom to choose the kind of experience they want at a particular destination.
The trend has been changing to backpacking and self go tours. The user is not
restricted to book long tours and planned itineraries but can book short
experiences like one hour elephant ride, night camping in forests, royal dinner
at palace or a micro light flight tour. In India there are no portals for
travellers, dedicated to booking activities and local experiences which dampens
the enthusiasm of a traveller and increases their dependency on local sources
when they reach the destination. We are confident our platform will help
travellers make the most of their holidays.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THE COMPANY?

The company has a highly acclaimed outdoor team who travel across India
and curate these experiences and activities. The company is also roping in
local guides fluent in German, Spanish and French in order to enhance the
customer experience level for foreigners during local tours.

WHAT IS THE ACTUAL ADDRESSABLE MARKET?

Adventure tourism industry in India has registered an increase of about
500 per cent growth over the last decade. The addressable portion in the
activity space stands at $20 billion globally. This makes the activity segment
the third largest segment in the travel industry, after hotel and air travel.
According to studies, the global average price of an activity purchase is less
than $100 and in India it is even lesser and stands at $28 but the volumes have
growing at much faster pace.

serve 2200+ travelers monthly.
